This barely used frame and queen size mattress futon (it sits dormant in our rarely used guest room) looks great, and is even more comfortable. The cream colored cover is new within the last few years, but has rarely been sat on. We are donating the futon to any flood victim because we simply never use it. It's in great condition. The only blemish is a small crack in one of the boards (see photo). However, it's on the non-sitting side, and it doesn't impact the sleep quality at all when folded out. Other than that, it's like new.

free tv and couch to flood victims. both in good working condition, owned only by our family in superior. must be picked up and moved yourself, my parents are a bit older and can not do it themselves.

* also the couch has a bed in it, so for some that might be a bonus if you lost everything, but it is very heavy * both items need at least two strong people to move

* also if you know anyone who needs clothing or you need other items, please let me know my parents and i both would like to give up anything we can so don't be afraid to ask for other stuff, we have ALOT between the two of us.

GRACE COMMUNITY CHURCH IS TAKING DONATIONS FOR THE FLOOD GIVE A WAY ALL THINGS FROM CLOTHES TO SHOES FURNITURE TOOTH PASTE TOOTH BRUSHES POTS PANS UTENSILS BATH STUFF. THESE FOLKS HAVE ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. THEY NEED OUR HELP. WE AS HUMANS ARE HERE TO LOVE AND HELP ONE ANOTHER AND HERE'S OUR CHANCE. PLEASE HELP US MAKE THINGS A LITTLE MORE COMFORTING FOR THEM. THEY ARE PEOPLE AND FAMILIES JUST LIKE US.... ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING.. JUST THINK IF EVERYONE WENT IN THERE PIGGY BANK AND GOT THREE DOLLARS AND WENT TO FAMILY DOLLAR AND BAUGHT ONE THING. AND THEN ADD ALL THAT TOGETHER. THAT'S A LITTLE THING THAT COULD MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE :)

I have decent towels, some sheets, blankets, personal care items, kid clothes (boy 3T, girl 5-6) including jackets, kitchen items including pans and dishes. I can also cull out clothing in ladies 16 or mens medium-large. I'm sure I can even collect some toys, puzzles and stuffies to help occupy the console the youngest ones affected.

I'm purging my house anyway and would rather things go straight to someone who could use these items. Let me know what you need as I may well have it!

Please take note I will ask for some kind of proof just to help keep scammers at bay.

We are about to have a small garage sale but for flood victims your more than welcome to come by and take what you need for free. We have dinner plates, bowls, salad plates. Lamps. Many house hold items. Let us know what you may need and we can let you know if we have it. When you come and get what you want you are more than free to check out what else we have in case you find something else you may need. Please by honest and do not take stuff you do not deserve if your not in need.
